I have been seeing these baked avocado bacon and eggs on pinterest for a while now and I cannot believe that it has taken me so long to make them! Both avocados and bacon are two of my favourite foods and eggs are not far behind so combining them together in one simple dish can only be loads of goodness! The basic idea is to cut an avocado in half, scoop out enough to fit an egg, fill it with the egg and then bake it until the egg is set the way you like. In total it only takes about 15 to 20 minutes and in that time you can cook some bacon up to sprinkle on top. Once baked you can eat it by the spoonful right out of the avocado shell or you can spread it on toast. The warm baked avocado is sublimely good and combined with a runny egg yolk and smokey bacon and you have a breakfast made in heaven! (See below for the runny egg yolk in all of it's glory!)

I like my egg yolks runny which makes it perfect for smearing on toast!

Some more gratuitous runny egg yolk shots.

Try adding some juicy tomatoes which go really well with avocados and bacon.

Sounds good, but when I click printable recipe it just loads your whole page again with the comments, banner, etc. I think it's just supposed to load the recipe. Maybe just a temporary glitch? I'll try again later.

Kevin, I would swear you were from one of our Southern states. I am 73 years and don't think I have ever enjoyed reading recipes as well as I do yours. A lot of it is similar to our southern cooking but with such wonderful and 'never thought to' additions. I am trying so many of them, especially this recipe! I am not an ebook person. Please print one soon.

Love your recipes. Even my hubby who doesn't really like avocado said it looks good & wants to know when I'm making it! As for keeping the avocados from rolling, try setting them on a muffin pan to bake. The round part of the avocado sits in the round well nicely.

I'm making this right now in the Middle East where bacon is hard to find and expensive but I am hoping this recipe makes it worthwhile. The avocados have been in the oven for 15mins at 220 Celsius but show no sign of being near done. What am I doing wrong?

Made this today and it was so great!! Our avocados were on the smaller side so the whites of the egg totally ran out of the avocado. I scooped some more avo out but it took a little trial and error until it would fit an entire egg. We didn't have bacon so we used pancetta instead. Awesome breakfast!

Kevin, If I keep them in the oven for much longer, will the egg yolk harden without overcooking the egg whites and avocado? I'm not a fan of runny yolk. :/ Thank you, I looooooove your blog and write ups on your recipe's; they always turn out great!!
